Washington, 81 Chicago, o,

WASHINGTON, July l3.-The third
and last game OF the series between
the Washington and Chicago teams
was played today and resulted in an
other victory for the home team, who
outplayed the champions everywhere
and deserved the victory which they
worked 90 hard to achieve. Within, y
pitched masterly game for the home
team, and his support was almost per-
feet, one excussble error marring q
perfect record. The champions were
unable to send man around the
bsses, and had to submit to their a rst
whitewash Of the season. Baldwin
also pitched effectively, but his sup.
port in the field was uncertain, and
behind the bat u was wretched.
Myers played a brilliant game at Sec
oDd, as did also Donnelly. Neither
had much to do, but their chances
were difficult, one stop by DInnelly
being marvellous. In the last inning
Arson knocked the ball over
tee left field fence. When
he reached second, Carroll, the left
fielder Of the WashiDgtons, pretended
that he had the ball, which Arson be-
lieved. The latter for few minutes
was ratified. He would start for his
base, and Carroll would make feint
to throw, then Arson would retrace
his eteps This ludicrous situation
was heartily enjoyed by the spectators,
but Arson could not take In the situa.
ton uutil tie whole Chicago team sur
rounded the captain, at the same time
telling him that the call was over the
fence. Arson then went TO third base,
and although he had ample time ia
score did not do, 80, for reasons besl
known to himself. There was only
one man ont while Anssn was on
third and the superstition is that be
thought he could rattle the home team
and win the game, or that he wr1 &C
ratified himself that he did not know
what he was doing. This incident
was really the feature Of the game

WATER SPOUT.

JoHNsrowN, Penn, June 8.

JoHNsrowN. Penn, June s.
flood yesterday was caused by TIE burst.
ing Of water spout at West Hooversville,
Somerset county. village on the line of the
Somerset and Cambria railroad The village
is entirely under water snd the destruction
of property is great. Many thousand logs
belonging to the Lstrobe Lumber Co. passed
to sea last night, Several bridges were car
ried of. kernville bridge WAS partly des.
troyed. The one at Coopersdsle was entire.
" swept awav. The destruction of property
is enormous, but the amount cannot be as.
sertsined now.
At Hooversville the work of the flood is
appalling. Upwards of twenty residences
were washed of their foundations and de.
posted on the ground. AT least one hundred
families in this village alone lost everything
in their houses.
The water having subsiied, the scene to-
dav is one OF demorslizstio and ruin Yards
and streets are blocked with debris and rub
Dish. Houses are filled up with waite r. soak ed
goods and mud, and multitudes of women and
children stand about weeping and mourning
over their ruined homes.
In Grubtown, Conemaughboro, Morrill,
vile, Minersville, Cambria City and Coop.
ersdale, the same scene is presented, and il
is estimated that in Johnstown 200 people are
temporarily rendered homeless and depend
ent for shelter on the charity of their more
fortunate neighbors
No estimate can be made of the damage a,
present but it will reach an enormous sum.
No lives were lost as far as known.

the time of his appointment several years

posed the admittance on the ground that he
would not prove satisfactory; but he was

commended and successfully passed the
necessary examination. Secretary Lincoln
overruled Hazen aud directed Green's enlist

geant in charge refused 10 accept his serv-
ices as assistant, and the community reger rd-
ed him with anything but favor. The ser

man his career in the signal service would
have been summarily cut short long ago, but
